Re: Official Confirmed Artists for 2010

I've had acts tell me they are booked and then not show up on the lineup. Plans change. You've seen people drop off the poster after the lineup announcement. Imagine how many changes occur in the build up to it's release.

Re: Official Confirmed Artists for 2010

I don't know why this is a big deal. Last year and the year before we did the same thing. If a boardie talked to a band who said they were playing, we put it in the rumours list.

If he was claiming Edward Sharpe was headlining or subheadlining Coachella, then I wouldn't believe him. He is hardly claiming that though. He said he talked to Edward Sharpe and was told they got an offer to play Coachella. An offer they will presumably take. Like I just said, this is enough to make it into the "rumours" section of this thread. This man should be not be punished for reporting back to us, in fact, he should be rewrded for getting started on his homework early.

thank you rage! was just trying to spread the good word...

Coachella 07 (the introduction), 08 (the bands), 09 (the documentary), 10 (the people i came with), 11 (the relationship test... we passed), 12 (whatever the weather, Dirty Epic forever), 13 (the year of the troll)

Well... it's not so much that their not Sahara material, they definitely are... my issue is since their youngins for electronic music, if they were in the Sahara, they would probably get a day spot, and that..... would suck. a lot. They are a night act, there's no way around it.

But, Coachella will probably put them in the day, and we'll be left wanting a better show....

Their in the Do Lab... then that would be perfect!

whoa, waaaaay too big for the do lab.. but a night slot in the gobi could be good.. but i could see an early sahara slot.. (i never woulda thought Midnight Juggernauts would be a day act, and they played at like 2pm)

i could be remembering incorrectly, but wasn't that after weeks and months of people claiming they were confirmed? wasn't Dani's statement long after the whole password debacle and gap poster debacle?

Oh, I see. You were just talking about that part. Well there are so many people on this board who are jerk/snobs that would mean it literally, like Randy. It's hard to pick out the ironic comments from the literal ones.

Ron Paul 2012!

Upcoming Shows:
Four Tet
Coachella 4/20-4/22

Re: Official Confirmed Artists for 2010

From the Monklish blog:
" Monklish said...
@anon952: now, we both know that it isn't true.

unless stated otherwise, it's best to assume that anything I link to is some kind of public knowledge "confirmation". if I was getting my information from your message board, I'd have those totally rock-solid Muse and Pavement confirmations posted.

September 29, 2009 10:25 AM"

I'm not sure how "heavily rumored" turned into "totally rock-solid", but Monklish is already confused. You have to read the rest of the blog comments to get the full context. Who is the boardie that was rattling Monks cage? Someone from this thread methinks.

I was born the devil’s sun
Yes my dad, he gave my name
No my mama keeps saying

Run to the desert
You will see all that you need to see
Run to the desert
You will be all that you need to be

I woke up to the shadow of a man standing over me
Here in the land of frozen hands
I came out here to kill you father like a Sergio Leoni picture
Gee I hope you understand
And as the red soaked the sand – shhh

Run to the desert
You will see all that you need to see
Run to the desert
You will be all that you need to be

Re: Official Confirmed Artists for 2010

Her list was only accurate because of ours; you're forgetting she would go in and remove the cock and bullshit she would say would be there; when the lineup came out, she went back and pulled a bunch of stuff off the list. Anything she puts on the rumors list comes from here. Hall and Oats last year? Come on, she didn't come up with that bullshit herself.

I would have to agree with you, unfortunately. I just can't see both Orbital AND Underworld playing Coachella, and Orbital is way too good of a fit not to play. What other American festival would they be better suited for? There isn't one.

Re: Official Confirmed Artists for 2010

agreed Monklish is a piece of shit liar, i think i still have a few personal emails from last year and they were way off...... she gets her info from us. everyone gets their info from us.....

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!! Share the Ed Sharpe love!!!!!

But where will they be billed? I think by the time April rolls around they can, and will, easily fill the sunset slot on the main stage.

Coachella 07 (the introduction), 08 (the bands), 09 (the documentary), 10 (the people i came with), 11 (the relationship test... we passed), 12 (whatever the weather, Dirty Epic forever), 13 (the year of the troll)
